Jamila Tull is a New Orleans-based writer who gets a special kind of joy from exposing the cracks in our consensual reality. She is an artist who readily turns the lens onto herself to examine all that binds, separates, contradicts, and corroborates the stories we tell ourselves. Creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry, cartography and playlists are the media Jamila uses to synthesize sensory experiences into information that conveys meaning. Her work reveals the value she places on the underrepresented voices reverberating from the underbelly of society that are often forced into silence for survival. Today, survival for Jamila means speaking up and advocating for freedom through writing. Find her at savedyouaseat.substack.com
